A/N: Hello everyone and welcome to the new chapter of The End of Hope's Peak Academy.
So, I will not apologize for this chapter...a lot of stuff happens, and I mean a lot of stuff. You also get to see the end of the Paintball war with Class 77A, which have rapidly warmed up to my heart over the last few days. I hope you all like it.
After this, only classes 76A and 78B need to be challenged to a duel. I don't know what exactly I will be putting them through, honestly I'm thinking of just skipping ahead to the April 1st concert. It will be the end of this mini arc, and will take us to the obligatory beach chapters. Natsumi will be a part of this arc as well as some of the Student Council, which I've decided to include more of in this story. I may include more from Class 77A here and there, since I've put so much work into fleshing them out. Thanks to those who submit characters for this class. Thanks to BloodyDemon666 and Lloyd's fics for submitting characters for Class 78A, they will be making an appearance in the next chapter.
I have a lot of messed up pranks for April Fools day. Imagine Squidward's prank times 3000 sprinkled with some Fidget Spinners and a hint of fucked up. That's the level of pranks that I have come up with for this day. They will start harmlessly and then progress to really messed up, landing Daisuke in a whole heap of trouble, not with the Headmaster mind you, with those he holds dear in his heart, no one is safe...no one.
So, without further stallin, here is chapter 31 of The End of Hope's Peak Academy.
Fair warning, please do not look up Kentucky Klondike Bar or Panamanian Petting Zoo on Urban Dictionary...I only used those terms as a joke in this chapter, but it's some pretty disgusting shit. I know you'll most likely end up looking it up anyway, but you have been warned. Also, eat some Oatmeal cookies, their fucking awesome!
The End of Hope's Peak Academy
Zetsubou-Hen
Chapter 31
Downfall
Ryusuke was not having a good day. As soon as he walked into his office, he had been alerted of a security breach. Apparently someone had broken into his office building and stole very sensitive information. No one was fessing up to it, and no one knew where it had gone. He had been looking out into Tokyo, his eyes falling on Hope's Peak Academy, which stood proudly over the city. He detested the school with every fiber of his being.
It all started when he was growing up. He had always dreamed of being in this academy. He was taught to be a hard worker, eventually he took to business. He wanted to become the Ultimate Businessman, so he started his current one at the age of fourteen and had been quite successful. The academy however didn't think he was the Ultimate in this field, and had selected his fellow businessman Takarou Togami as the Ultimate Businessman. It was something that angered him, and to this day he wished ill on the Togami Conglomerate.
Outwardly, he was a friendly man, capable of striking a deal with anyone. But inside, he was scheming. He wanted to bring down all his opposition, anyone who can become a threat to him. Eventually, he wanted to take down Hope's Peak Academy, the institution that rejected him. The Togami Conglomerate, which belonged to the man he hated most in the world. He had become his friend, so he could weasel into his circle, and eventually get him to join up with him, but the man didn't budge. So he was busy taking down all the businesses associated with the Conglomerate. He had so far been successful.
Everyone who was at risk of talking was eliminated. Takao Morita had been a close business partner, letting him know the inner workings of the Academy of Hope. But as soon as he met Daisuke, his own flesh and blood, he saw how sad the boy was. He saw just how much his father hated his talent and gave him a chance to shine, the chance that he himself never got. So the man betrayed his trust, and needed to go.
He had been following up on his son and daughter, making sure to know what they did on their daily lives. When his daughter was invited to be part of Hope's Peak Academy, he left Tami-Lynn like the rag she was, and married Sylvia's mother, paying the board to let her in. That way, his new daughter would make that little wench miserable enough to quit.
He detested all of them, everyone who went to Hope's Peak Academy. Those in his son's class, he wanted them all to perish in the worst way imaginable. He could set it up easily, but the disappearance of sixteen students, including a princess was something he didn't want on his mind. It would be bad for business if someone were to find out what he did. If his plans worked, the academy and all of its sister institutions would fall, and he would be rid of the place for good.
That was until someone had breached his private server. He still didn't know how he had been so foolish. He hadn't installed a security system, because he was confident no one would break in. But he had been wrong, and now he was going to pay dearly for it. He swallowed hard as he heard a knock on his door. One of his secretaries walked in, shaking a bit.
"Mr. Fuji sir, our technicians found the access point." she said.
"Really? Where is it?" he asked firmly.
"Um...it was in a computer on the third floor, in the room only you can enter...sir." she said. His eyes widened in shock. He shook his head, silently dismissing her. Once she was gone, he walked over to the phone on his desk, pressing the button.
"Yes?"
"I need you in my office, now." he said firmly.
In less than two minutes, a young man passed through the doors, bowing formally. He looked at Ryusuke, who had a pissed off look on his face.
"Is something wrong sir?"
"Yes, the secret room, you were the one who installed that password lock correct?"
"Yes sir."
"Did you give anyone else the code?"
"No sir, I would never do that." he said.
"Did you know we were breached?" Ryusuke asked, opening the drawer of his desk. The young man nodded.
"Yes sir, we were told early this morning. Is something wrong sir?"
"Indeed, you see that secret room held documents. Documents that held valuable information about you, and me and everyone that works in this building. Not just that, it holds information that would make a Billy Goat sick to his stomach. So I will ask again, did you give the password to anyone else?"
"No sir, the password is known by only you. It's a six digit combination that no one should be able to guess. It changes daily so even I don't know what it is. No one should be able to breach it." he said.
"Well guess what, someone fucking did...and now you are going to pay for that!" he said.
"Sir?" the young man cried, looking up at the man.
A single gunshot filled the room, as the young man fell to the ground, a hole in his head. Ryusuke sighed, lowering his gun to his desk. He pressed another button on his phone and a trap door open, dumping the body into a chute that would lead to an incinerator. He walked over to the closet and pulled out a pair of rubber gloves, along with some bleach and ammonia. He started washing the blood on the hardwood floor, making sure to get rid of all of it.
"You made me do it kid, you should have done a better job installing that device." Ryusuke said, shaking his head.
It took him only minutes for him to clean up the blood and dump everything into the chute. He picked up the bullet casing, placing it in his pocket. He sat down at his leather chair, picking up his television remote. He turned the television and started flipping through the channels. He stopped on the official Hope's Peak Academy broadcasting station, squeezing the remote.
"Class 77A is duking it out against Class 77B, the winners of last Thursday's dodge-ball game. So far, nine students from Class 77A, the Red Team, have been eliminated by Class 77B, the Blue Team. Which class is going to win? And who will chose the next event?" the Ultimate Commentator cried, showing the results of the Paintball match, currently taking place. Ryusuke growled in anger when he saw his son's face on the screen, happy and full of hope. He took the remote and threw it at the television, a large black mark appearing at the center of it.
"Useless boy, useless talent. Why was he recognized by that shitty institution? Takao was the one that sent Kizakura after him, he was the one that ruined all of this. He shouldn't be happy, he should suffer just like I did when I was rejected by Hope's Peak Academy!" he said, slamming his fist against the desk in anger. He glared at the black spot on the television, knowing he would have to replace it.
At the same time, Kyoko Kirigiri was walking into the Public Security Intelligence Agency Building. She had the file tucked into her coat, as she walked further into the building. She presented her badge to the guard and walked through the door. Inside were offices filled with federal agents. She reached the end of the hall, knocking softly on the door. When she walked in, the man inside looked up, giving her a warm smile.
"Kyoko, so good of you to visit!" the man said.
"Grandfather, how is your day?" she asked, taking a seat in front of his desk.
"Wonderful, your brother was here an hour ago. He said he had gotten a verdict for that little girl's case. They're getting life, the producer is getting the death penalty and her mother is too." he said, a proud smile on his face. Kyoko didn't say anything, rather she placed the file on top of his desk.
"This information is regarding the Fuji case." she said.
"Again with this? Kyoko I have told you a million times, Ryusuke Fuji is a respectable man. Even if he wasn't, we can't prove anything against him. Everything that's been brought to light has been disproved." the man said firmly.
"Not this time, these are copies of files from a secret room within his building. I was able to take these while he was out at lunch. Not just that, I have reason the believe he planned the death of Takao Morita, along with several other wealthy figure heads. He is also responsible for the death of his twenty one year old step son, Ryuji Miyamoto." Kyoko said. The man sighed, opening the file.
His eyes widened when they fell onto the first paper. It was a detailed business strategy on how to take down A-2 Publishing. He flipped the page, seeing another plan to take out Hope's Peak Academy, as well the Togami Conglomerate. There were files on people that had gone missing that he had sent hits out for, along with checks the man had written to unknown hitmen.
"Where did you get this?" the man asked, earning a smirk from his granddaughter.
"I'll take you there, is all of this enough for a warrant?" she asked curiously.
"This is enough to lock this scumbag for life. Let's go talk to the judge, so we can get that warrant."

Sonia licked her lips as she took aim at her enemy. She had been deep in enemy territory. It had taken her awhile to climb up to the upper span of the mall. It had been even more time for her to set up her rifle so that she could get a good aim. Class 77A had made a stand at the Food Court, having stacked up all of the tables and chairs in the entrance. She shifted her scope slightly, glancing at all of the remaining enemies.
It had been rather easy for her to figure out there was no bomb. She had been exploring the entire building while everyone else was off fighting. Every room and every store had been examined by her curious eye.
Once she entered her military mode, there was no one that could stop her. She hadn't been planning on staying at the base for long. She had just gone there for more ammunition. She had wasted quite a lot defending herself from the others. She had almost gotten shot at one point, but she had made it out in time to dodge it.
She licked her lips, biting the bottom one softly as she shifted the muzzle of her gun again. There were six targets, but she knew if she fired, her position would be given away. Ideally, she wanted to take out Oliver or Rika, but the two of them were standing out of the range of her gun. The one she had a good aim on was Chizu, the Ultimate Bartender.
She had met the man before. He was really sweet and cared quite a lot about his son. Before meeting Daisuke, she had been slightly attracted to him. But now, that attraction had faded away, replaced only with thoughts about the Ultimate Story Teller. The man hadn't moved from his spot near the Food Court entrance.
"Do I take the shot? Or do I wait?" she thought to herself. She closed her eyes in thought. She couldn't wait long, because she was laying in an open place. If someone happened to see her gun, she would have to move. She sighed, glancing at the ground below her.
"What would Daisuke do?" she asked herself.
The thought of her boyfriend laying where she was, taking aim at someone filled her mind. He would most likely eliminate the biggest threat, that being Rika, but since she didn't have a good aim at her, she would have to take someone else out. Her eyes fell on Yasuke, who was just sitting on the counter top, looking at his phone. She smirked, changing her aim toward the Ultimate Neurologist.
"Say goodnight." she said to herself, a giggle passing through her lips. She pulled the trigger, a loud pop filling the air. Yasuke screamed in pain as the round entered his blood bag, making him fall to the floor. He clutched his side, tears falling down his face.
"Yasuke Matsuda has been eliminated!"
"Where the fuck did that come from?"
"It was from up there, Rika quick!" Oliver cried, pointing at the high span.
She took aim, looking for the shooter, sadly she didn't see anyone. Sonia had already jumped down, hiding inside an abandoned closet, Glock in her hand. She needed to find a new spot and quick.
She suddenly heard loud footsteps walking toward her. She held her breath as Chizu came into her line of sight. He was looking around, trying to find a trace of the young woman. He knelt on the floor, grabbing a single golden hair from the floor.
"Sonia...guys she's nearby!" he cried. She walked out of the closet, pulling the trigger of her gun. She emptied the entire magazine into the man's chest, taking him out of the game. She dropped the magazine, and slide a new one into the handle.
"I love fully automatic guns." she said, only to have her Glock shot out of her hand. She looked up, the bright green hair of Rika greeting her. The girl smirked, cracking her neck.
"Ello puppet." she said, opening fire on her. Sonia ducked to the ground, quickly racing out of hr line of fire. She ducked around a corner, grabbing her M200 Inversion from around her shoulder. She ejected the spent shell and rose the gun up. She peeked around the corner, shooting at the Ultimate Marksman. The girl barely dodged it, the hot pink bullet striking the brick behind her.
"Come on Sonia, you can't win this. You are up against a professional!" Rika cried, ejecting the spent magazine. She placed a new one back into the gun, chambering a round. She tried to walk around the corner, only to be shot at again.
Sonia hissed as she dropped her magazine. She popped a new one back in place, slamming the handle bar down in time to shoot Rika. She had somehow dodged the bullet, opening fire on her. Sonia grit her teeth, slamming against the railing. She tried to run, but ended up slipping on broken glass, her rifle fell over the railing, clattering to the ground four stories below.
"Well, isn't this a surprise!" Rika said.
"Are you just going to shoot me or just stand there gloating?" the blonde princess said. Rika tossed Sonia her Glock back, which she easily caught. She set her rifle down, pulling out her own Glock, taking the safety off.
"How's your footwork?" Rika asked, as she fired at the Princess's feet. Sonia rolled out of the way, dodging all of the bullets coming at her. She rose her gun, firing her entire magazine at Rika, who quickly flipped out of the way.
Sonia dropped her empty magazine, quickly replacing it. She ran at the Ultimate Marksman, throwing a punch at her face. Rika easily caught her hand, taking aim at Sonia's face. She ducked to the side, the bullet whizzing by her ear. She cringed from the loud sound, but she bit her cheek, ignoring it. She fired at the green haired girl, causing her to let out a cry. Sonia pushed her back, slamming her against the wall, firing at her again. Rika jumped away, aiming a kick to her leg.
They got into fist fight, both of them trying to shoot each other. Sonia bat Rika's gun away with her hand, firing at her, only for Rika to dodge the bullet. She aimed her gun at Sonia, pulling the trigger. Sonia hissed in pain, her gun locking up. Rika smirked as the princess dropped her gun.
"Well, looks like this is it. The Ultimate Princess's last rumble...any last words?" the green haired girl said. Sonia smirked, giving her a wink.
"Vaya con Dios!" (Go With God)
Rika looked at her oddly, a single gunshot ringing through the area. She looked at the hot pink round on the center of her chest, the blood bag oozing crimson paint. She looked past the princess, seeing Daisuke standing there, a firm look on his face. She chuckled, dropping her gun.
"I feel...cold." she said, as she dropped to the ground.
"Rika Otonashi and Chizu Kaart have been Eliminated!"
"Hell yeah baby, you were fucking excellent!" Daisuke said, picking the girl up, spinning around. He gave her a kiss on the lips, the blonde wrapping her legs around his waist.
"Sweetheart, if our class wins this...do you wanna...you know?" she asked, making him go wide eyed. He nodded, kissing her lips again.
"Hunter Killer Drone inbound!"
"What?" Daisuke screamed, seeing a drone flying toward them. He didn't even have time to react as the drone exploded, bathing the two in paint.
"Daisuke Del Rio and Sonia Nevermind have been Eliminated!"
The Ultimate Story Teller hissed as he placed his girlfriend on the ground. He looked over the railing, seeing Oliver with a tablet in his hand. The boy cupped his hands over his mouth.
"Eye for an eye!" he shouted.
"Ay jodete cabron!" (Oh Fuck off you asshole!) he shouted, a look of disdain on his face.
Hiyoko grinned after hearing the latest announcement. Sure her boyfriend and girlfriend had been taken out of the competition, but with those three completely out, that meant Class 77A only had three people left. The entire squad was mobilizing, carrying the ammo crate with them toward the supposed base of Class 77A. They found a good spot at a store across from the Food Court. Having taken the back way, the three hadn't even seen them. Peko quickly did a sweep of the store, grabbing some shelves and placing them down to act as cover. Kazuichi opened the crate, pulling out an RPG and a rocket. He twisted it into place, handing it to Hiyoko.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" he asked, earning a nod from the girl.
"Hell yeah, attack while the iron is hot! We lost our sniper, and one of our best shooters. We gotta take them out now, especially since Oliver is still in this fucker." she said.
"Hiyoko, do you know how to shoot one of those?" Mikan asked.
"Nope, but it's never too late to learn!" she said excitedly. The Ultimate Nurse dove behind what was once the front counter, hugging her knees to her chest. Peko and Fuyuhiko also remained clear of the young dancer took aim. She licked her lips, finger on the trigger.
"Yippe ki yay motherfucker!" she shouted, pulling the trigger. She screamed as the rocket fired forward, going through the glass window. It slammed into the wall above the food court, exploding on contact. Pink paint rained down over the entire court, screams of surprised filling their ears.
"Open Fire, Open Fire!" Kazuichi cried, taking aim.
Gunshots filled the air as Class 77B held their final stand. Hot pink paint could be seen flying in all directions. Ibuki was laughing her ass off as she unloaded her rifle on the enemy. Hiyoko rapidly stood up, grabbing another rocket from the crate. She twisted it into place and knelt down.
"I'm hot!" she cried, a signal telling them to back off. This time, she hit her mark, destroying the tables blocking their enemy. All of them took this chance to reload.
"Counter attack!" Oliver cried, throwing a smoke grenade into the store. It popped loudly, crimson smoke filling the entire showroom. Kazuichi pressed himself against the back wall, the sound of gunshots coming closer. He opened fire, hearing a soft thud.
"What the hell?" he muttered. He screamed in pain as he was taken down, the mechanic fell to the ground in pain. Ryoutaro smirked, peeking from around his door.
"Sorry man, but we're winning this shit." he said.
"Kazuichi Souda, Ibuki Mioda and Peko Pekoyama have been eliminated!"
"You motherfuckers!" Fuyuhiko cried, shooting Toshiro who had been busy scanning the store.
His weapons locked up, and Hiyoko took the finishing shot, knocking the boy out of the game. Ryoutaro dropped his door, pulling his side arm from behind his back. He shot Fuyuhiko on the side, just as he was reloading his gun. He took aim at Hiyoko, who quickly ducked to the ground.
"Toshiro Syonusuke and Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu have been eliminated!"
"Oh Hiyoko, poor little Hiyoko...I'm surprised you made it this far. You got taken out early during your second game eh? Ozzy told us about it. And during your first one you were shot by your own gun, how does that feel?" Ryoutaro said, taking aim at the blonde dancer.
"If you think you can scare me then you can lick my ass. You guys ain't shit!" she cried out, blowing a raspberry at them.
"What the hell does Daisuke see in you? You are so rude!" Oliver said, shaking his head. Hiyoko hissed loudly, reaching for her shotgun, only for Ryoutaro to kick it away from her. She glared at the two young men shaking her head.
"You are lucky Daisuke and Sonia got taken out, they would destroy you in an instant!" she said.
"That's another thing, I'm curious to know how a trilationship works. Are you dating Daisuke and he's dating Sonia, or are all three of you dating each other? Do you and Sonia get kinky?" Ryoutaro asked curiously.
"Dude, I don't think now is the best time to ask that shit." Oliver said.
"Sorry sorry, I was just curious you know. I'm having trouble telling the girl I like that I like her. I was kinda hoping for some advice or something." he said with a shrug.
Hiyoko shook her head, her eyes drifting toward the counter. She saw Mikan, silently creeping out from behind it, walking toward the ammo crate for a the M-16 that had been left behind. The blonde traditional dancer smirked.
"Well, if you want dating advice then you have come to the right gal. Daisuke happens to be really good at hooking people up. If you spare me, I can let him know. You'll have that girl bouncing on your dick in no time." she said, giving him a wink.
"With or without a condom?" Ryoutaro asked curiously.
"What is wrong with you man? Just shoot her already, I got a limit on." Oliver said firmly.
"Sorry man, I'm just desperate alright. We're gonna be third years soon, then we'll be fourth years and then poof, high school is gone. I just want a memorable relationship before I go to collage." he said.
"I get that, but getting your dick wet shouldn't be priority number one. You should focus on finding the girl for you. She should be sweet, and kind, and slightly shy...and a whiz with computer programming!" he said.
"Uh...what?" Ryoutaro asked.
"Nothing...what I'm trying to say is.." he stopped for a second, taking the boy's gun to shot Hiyoko in the leg, causing her to scream in pain, her guns locking up. He handed the boy his gun back.
"As I was saying, what you need to do is find the girl for you. Is this girl the one you love?" he asked.
"I mean yeah, we hang out together, and she's sort of quirky. But I never know what she's thinking." Ryoutaro said. Oliver hummed to himself.
"Well, what does she like? Maybe that will work for you."
"Oh you know...she likes full frontal nudity, and high impact sexual violence." he replied. Someone cleared their throat behind them, making them turn around. Mikan smiled brightly, holding her rifle up.
"Get on your knees!" Ryoutaro screamed, taking aim at her. Mikan licked her lips, finger on the trigger.
"I'm not your mother last night!" she shouted, opening fire on the two.
She started laughing, the sounds of the shell casings on the tile floor was a weird sense of euphoria for her. The two teenagers dropped to the ground, fully bathed in paint. The girl didn't stop there, she dropped her rifle, pulling her .45 APC from behind her back. She kept on firing, not caring that the blood bags had already exploded.
"Mikan! They're already out, stop shooting them!" Hiyoko cried. The nurse gasped, letting go of her gun.
"I'm sorry...I don't know what came over me."
"Oliver Martin and Ryoutaro Matsujima have been eliminated. Blue Team Wins, Class 77B wins!"
Hiyoko groaned as she fell onto her back side, glad that match was over. Oliver just sat there on the ground, eyes widened in shock. His chest hurt, and he was trying his hardest to formulate words. He just looked at the ceiling, his face completely pale.
"I...lost...for the first time in years...I lost...in paintball." he said.
"Ah, don't worry man...this was all about the fun of it right? As long as we all had fun, that's what matters." Ryoutaro said. The boy nodded, giving his friend a handshake.
"Yeah, that's true...I had fun. This was honestly the best match of my life...good game class 77B, good game indeed." he said.

"We are standing here with the battered but not beaten Class 77B, who has just defeated the members of Class 77A in a paintball match! How are you all feeling?" the Ultimate Commentator asked, holding the microphone to Daisuke.
"Pain...there's horrendous pain all over my body. It's on my back, my side, my leg and my ass. I think there's some on my di..."
"Okay, let's move on to someone else...Hiyoko Saionji, you were confident at the end of the dodge-ball game that you would win. You won this match as well, so what will you be participating in next and with which class?" he asked.
"78A, Spelling Bee." she said simply.
"Spelling Bee?" the commentator asked.
"We want to formally challenge this class to a spelling contest. There's a catch though, we will be selecting all of the words, they can be actual words, expletives, anything really." Sonia said, elaborating a bit.
"Ah...that is rather interesting. You heard it here first folks. Class 78A is the next in line to get an ass whopping from Class 77B, will they win, or will this class continue to be unstoppable? We'll find out in three days won't we? Tune in for the gag-reel after these commercials." he said, giving the camera a grin.
"Hey."
The battered friends looked away from the cameraman, seeing all of Class 77A standing next to them. Oliver had a frown on his face, which slowly changed into a smile. He walked toward Daisuke, holding his hand out to him. The Story Teller shook it firmly, a smile of his own on his face.
"You did good, I didn't think you guys would adapt so well to this." He said.
"We can accomplish anything when we try. You gave us a run for our money though, I can tell you all are the greatest of friends." He said.
"We don't hangout as much as you guys do, but we enjoy our time together. We should hangout sometime, get to know each class a little better." Oliver suggested.
"Sure, say we're heading to my mom's restaurant/bakery for some after game snacks, you're all welcome to join." Daisuke said.
"What do you say guys? Wanna get some food?" Oliver asked.
"I require the purest of blood for my sustenance. You foolish humans don't supplied the hemoglobin I so desperately need to survive!" Mike said. Emma spun around, power driving her fist into the boy's solar plexus, knocking him out instantly. He fell to the ground, and she grabbed his leg, dragging him along.
"Well...shall we?" she asked, earning nods from everyone. Daisuke really didn't want to mess with that girl. She honestly terrified him.

Ryusuke frowned as he sipped on his coffee. He had been praying his son's class lost that silly game. He had been watching on his repaired television, seeing as each of his classmates took down their opponent. Their faces full of hope, joy and trust served only to annoy him. He had been expecting the boy to be shot in his face so he could see him suffer, but alas that didn't happen. He rose his cup again, taking a sip of the dark liquid as his door suddenly flew open.
Instantly, several S.A.T. officers made their way into the office. All of them had their rifles and shotguns aimed at the man, who just looked at them curiously. Rather than a senior officer, the one that walked through the crowd of S.A.T.'s was a teenage girl, a girl that he recognized as Jin Kirigiri's daughter. She stood in front of his desk, a folded sheet of paper in her hands.
"Ryusuke Fuji, you are hereby under arrest for the crimes you have committed." she said firmly.
"Crimes? You must be mistaken young lady, I am an honorable and respectable man. I have committed no crimes." he said. She smirked, opening the paper.
"Money Laundering, Conspiracy to take down rival businesses, Two counts of First Degree Murder, Conspiracy to commit First Degree murder, Second Degree murder, and we found the body in the incinerator, so trying to destroy evidence...among many other charges." she said, tossing the papers onto his desk. The man grit his teeth as his eyes landed on them.
"It was you wasn't it...he sent you to do this, didn't he?" the man asked.
"I haven't been sent by anyone. I have found this information of my own accord. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used in a court of law. If you cannot afford a lawyer, unlikely due to your riches, the city will provide you one." the girl said, cuffing the man. One of the S.A.T.'s grabbed a hold of him, dragging him out of the office.
"You won't get away with this Kirigiri, I'll get out of this. You have no proof against me!" the man shouted. The girl rolled her eyes, flicking her cellphone open. She dialed a number, pressing it against her ear.
"Hey, turn on Channel 5 news, you'll be completely surprised. Congratulations for winning by the way." she said, hanging up the call right after. She fixed her coat, knowing this was only the beginning of a long process for her.

Daisuke set his phone down, grabbing the remote off the counter. He turned the flat screen television on, dialing Channel 5. His eyes widened a bit as a live news report was being aired, in front of his father's company.
"Breaking News, Stockholder and Trader Ryusuke Fuji under arrest for committing murder."
"Holy shit, guys look at this!" He called out, grabbing the attention of his friends. Gasps could be heard among all of them, along with some muttering. Sonia took a hold of his arm, her eyes firmly on the screen.
"It's about time, the son of a bitch needed this." Hiyoko said, shoving some gummies in her mouth. Daisuke didn't say anything, just staring at the screen.
"First degree murder, second degree murder, money laundering, conspiracy to take down businesses, and disposal of a body. Christ this guy is a piece of shit." Oliver muttered, leaning against the counter.
"Yes, yes he is. His reign is finally over...won't be long until he's in jail and we can all breathe a little easier." he said, a smile on his face. The doors opened, a loud jingling filling the shop as Erika ran inside, Misa following along with her dog. She panted a bit, brushing her hair out of her face.
"Big brother, did you see? Our scum bag father got arrested!" she said.
"I know, we're watching it right now." Daisuke said, pointing to the television.
"Wait...that's your father?" Chizu asked.
"Yeah, he hired a hitman to kill a member of the Steering Committee, the guy who found out about my story telling talent." the Story Teller replied.
"I can't believe this...what a horrible disgusting man...no offense." Rika said. He shook his head.
"None taken...that bastard has committed too many things against me. Drove my step brother to suicide, killed innocent people, dumped me and my family onto the streets in the middle of winter...he needs to pay, and I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life. And if he gets Death, even better. I'm gonna tell my mind, flip the sign for me would you?" he said, glancing at Erika, who gave him a nod.
He walked around the counter, passing through the doors the lead to the kitchen. Teruteru wasn't in there today, as he had already finished making food for everyone and was taking a break. He looked around, finding it surprisingly empty, even though they had been open up until a few minutes. He looked around, a frown on his face.
"Mom? Tami? You guys in here?" he called out. The kitchen was empty, but maybe the office wasn't. He walked toward the end of the hall, ducking between some shelves that seriously needed to be moved. He noticed the door was open a crack, and figured his mom was in there. He opened the door, a smile on his face.
"Hey mom, you won't guess what happened to my dad!" he said.
His eyes went wide, jaw dropping a bit at what he had run into. His mother and Tami-Lynn had been kissing each other. Not just a peck either, they had been making out. He rubbed his eyes, mouth opening and closing, trying to formulate words. Erika walked into the office a second later.
"What's wrong? You didn't come out here so I came to check on you." she said. He pointed to the two women, his mother letting out a sigh.
"Mom...Tami...sexy phase." he said simply.
"Huh? What do you mean by sexy phase? Why are you two so close to each other?" Erika asked curiously, seeing their ruffled clothing. Tami cleared her throat, fixing her shirt.
"Perhaps I should go run the counter for a bit...I'm sure you want to speak with them." She said.
"No no, I think we should do this together." Maria said, taking a hold of the woman's hand. Maria closed the door, pulling her long brown hair out of its ponytail, letting it fall down her shoulders. She stood in front of the desk, hands at her hips.
"Well, no use beating around the bush. Daisuke, Erika...me and Tami-Lynn have decided to be in a relationship." she said.
"Oh my god, now I get why you said sexy phase...you guys are lezzing it up." Erika said.
"Christ, you are really uncouth when it comes to this aren't you?" Tami asked, a blush on her face.
"Blame the internet. Yes sweetheart, me and Tami are totally lezzing it up...but let me explain. It all started when she came here...after everything that she had been through, I told her she could come to me for anything." Maria started.
"She was sweet, kind and knew the pain I was going through. I lost one of my precious children, all because of that bastard Ryusuke. I guess I just lost myself. Maria was there to help me recover, and we...sort of fell in love." Tami said, smiling brightly, as Maria wrapped her arm around her waist.
"I know this is weird, and its a bit weird for me too. But I figured we've been fucked over by the same man, might as well try being with a woman, you know what I mean?" she asked.
"I...suppose so...but...who's the butch?" Daisuke asked.
"The...butch?" Tami questioned, earning a nod from Erika.
"Yeah you know, who's the man of the relationship. I mean you're both women, so one of you has to be more dominant." She said.
"We are not having this conversation...we just wanted to let you know that we're in a relationship and we love each other." Maria snapped angrily, earning a giggle from Tami.
"So...I guess I can call the two of you mom now...this is awesome! I got two moms and no scumbag father. Oh right, that asshole got arrested, its on the news right now!" Daisuke said.
"Really? This I have to see." Tami said, ducking out of the office, with Erika close behind. Maria smiled, hugging her son tightly.
"I'm so happy you understand sweetheart...I know this must be hard for you."
"What are you talking about? Yeah it was weird seeing my mom kissing another woman, but Tami is my mom too. If you two are happy, then I'm happy. Just don't have a baby with her, I don't think you can raise another one." he said, hugging the woman back.
"No worries, you and Erika are the only babies I need in my life. You've become such a wonderful young man. The sky is the limit, so never give up on your dreams." she said, kissing his cheek.
"I never have mom, and I never will." he said, taking her hand.
"Now let's go see Ryusuke get his ass tossed in a police car!" he said cheerfully.

Daisuke and Sonia finally made it back to their dorm, completely spent from their day. They didn't have as many welts as the others did, but the ones they did have hurt like all hell. Thankfully, they were on their arms as opposed to anywhere else. Hiyoko sadly had one on her leg, and she had been limping a bit as she walked, forcing Daisuke to carry her to her dorm. Mikan had turned in for the night, apparently having a migraine. He took his bag off, placing it in its special hook, followed by his vest which he hung on the coat rack. He took his boots off, placing them beside his dresser.
"Ugh...man today has been way longer than I thought it would be." he said, dropping onto his bed.
"Tell me about it. But it was nice, getting to have fun with our fellow classmates and witnessing the downfall of a scumbag. I was also quite surprised with Maria and Tami admitting their love for each other. It was so heartwarming!" Sonia said, her eyes sparkling brightly.
"Yeah...it'll be a bit weird but...I'm happy that they found each other. Wonder how Megan and Cameron will take it though? Both of them are busy with entrance exams right now." he said.
Sonia nodded, pulling her hair out of its ponytail. She ran her fingers through it, passing her brush through every strand, making sure it was free of knots. Once she had done that, she started unbuttoning her blazer, tossing it onto her bed. She hissed a bit, poking the two welts on her left arm, which were bright purple. She saw the scars of the others she had gotten.
"My skin isn't as beautiful as it was once...I have scars and welts now." she said, earning a chuckle from Daisuke. He stood up, kissing her neck, making her squirm a bit.
"Every inch of you is absolutely beautiful. Not even paintball welts is going to stop me from loving you." he said. She smiled, pulling him into a kiss.
Her mind was racing, remembering what she had said during their paintball game. She was a princess, and she had made a promise to herself that she would. They had won the tournament, so it was time for her to make good with her word. She gently pushed the boy back, making him fall onto the bed, something they had done many times before only this time it would be different. She started unbuttoning her shirt, slowly letting it fall around her.
"Sonia, are you sure you want to do this?" he asked curiously. She gave him a firm look.
"Of course! I have to make due with my word. I'm not Hiyoko so don't just ram it in." she said firmly.
"Alright then." he said, placing his hands on her shoulders.
He leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss. His hands traveled down her sides, slowly caressing her smooth skin. He slowly reached behind her back, taking a hold of her bra clasp. The girl stiffened a bit, pulling away from the kiss. Her hand flew to her breasts, holding her bra in place.
"It's okay, we don't have to do this if you aren't ready." he said softly, kissing her neck. She closed her eyes, biting her lip as she let the garment fall to the floor, joining her shirt.
"I'm nervous...you and Hiyoko do this so much, I guess I would expect you to take over." she replied.
"Well, we're already used to it. She's the dominant one when we do it, but I guess I'll lead you this time." he said, cupping her face with his hands. He kissed her lips briefly, trailing down her neck to her collar bone, leaving a small bite mark.
He continued leaving small kisses on her skin, trailing down her body until he reached her breast. She gasped, the feeling of his tongue swirling around her nipple was vastly different than she had been expecting. He took a hold of her right breast, kneading it softly. His tongue flicked over her nipple, causing her to moan lightly. She could feel his member hardening underneath her, and she grinded her hips against it, throwing her head back a bit. Her hands started fiddling with the buttons on his shirt, slowly pulling it off of him.
She had seen him shirtless a few times before. His skin was a light brown in color, due to his Spanish heritage. It was free of blemishes, save for a few scars here and there. His chest was nicely toned, from all of the Kendo practices he did with Peko, and his daily excising with Nekumaru and Akane. He didn't have a six pack like she had been imagining, but it was still pretty nice. Daisuke released his hold on her nipple, moving back onto her neck.
His hands started caressing her thighs, squeezing them slightly. They slowed moved toward her rump, squeezing it a bit hard. She jumped a bit at the sudden action, but quickly settled into it, small moans passing through her lips. He reached under her skirt, hooking his fingers onto the hem of her lacy panties, which were drenched in her own juices. She pulled away from the kiss, standing up from his lap.
"Did I do something wrong?" he asked curiously.
She shook her head, reaching for the zipper on the side of her skirt, she let it fall, letting it bunch around her feet. She took the chance to slip out of her shoes, something she had completely forgotten. She bent down, about to take her stockings off when he took her hands.
"Leave them, stockings are my fetish." he said.
"Oh are they? Does that mean Hiyoko wears them too?" she asked curiously, her breasts bouncing slightly as she straightened up.
"No, she actually doesn't wear panties. It makes it a bit hard to be with her when the urge to play with her sacred jewel is on your mind. Do you know how hard it is sometimes having lunch with her, and she's always rubbing your thigh?" he asked.
"Yes, she's done it to me too. I never though she would be so promiscuous." Sonia said, a smirk on her face.
"I don't call it promiscuous, I call it addicted." he said, standing up. Her hands eagerly reached for his belt, as his traveled to the area between her legs. He started rubbing his fingers over her special area, causing her to moan slightly. He was about to reach inside when she slapped his hand away.
"I forgot to say um...I...you know.." she said, blushing brightly as she looked away.
"You don't shave?" he asked curiously.
"I do...I just...haven't in a few days. I was focusing on the paintball game." she said, biting her lip.
"It's fine, I don't really mind it you know...I'm not exactly a fan of cunnilingus." he said.
"Huh?" she asked, tilting her head. He sighed.
"You know...eating out?"
"Oh...I've never heard that term before...where did you learn it?"
"Urban Dictionary...you tend to find some...rather interesting things on it. If you ever find something called, Kentucky Klondike Bar, don't click on it." he said firmly. She shrugged it off, her focus back on her prize. She pulled the boy's pants down with ease, his member springing out. She ran her hand over it, pumping it a few times.
"It's big." she said.
"Just above average. It isn't that big." he said.
"Now you're just being modest...do you think we could...skip this part?" she asked. He nodded firmly.
"If you don't feel comfortable just tell me okay?" he said, earning a nod from her.
She took a deep breath, finally pulling her panties down. She had finally bared it all in front of the man she loved. He just gave her a smile, capturing her in a kiss. He sat down, pulling the Princess on top of himself as he did. He was rubbing up against her precious jewel, causing her to moan into his mouth. She pulled away, panting a bit as she did so. Her heartbeat had quickened and she was breathing a bit roughly. He slipped his fingers inside her, rubbing the outer wall of her vagina.
"Hgn...it feels so good." she whispered, biting into his shoulder. He groaned a bit, knowing Hiyoko would ask him about that later. He rubbed her juices onto himself, lubing himself up enough for the actual act.
"Are you ready?" he asked softly.
She nodded, taking a hold of his throbbing member. She placed it in between her nether lips, closing her eyes as she impaled herself on it for the first time. She let out a cry of pain, her fingernails digging into his back. He leaned forward, capturing her lips in a loving kiss. He hugged her tightly, rubbing her back to soothe the pain. After a few minutes, she looked down, seeing they were still joined, a bit of blood seeping out.
"Not as bad as I thought it would be...you feel so warm inside me." she said, looking into his eyes.
"You feel nice around me too. Hang on tight, the ride is about to start." he said, kissing her nose. He took a firm hold of her rump, slowly setting a rhythm.
Sonia wrapped her arms around his neck, moaning loudly. Her mind had gone blank by the new feeling. The pain she had felt melted away, replaced with euphoria. Daisuke was literally rocking her world...her walls were pulsing around the boy's member, making him grit his teeth. He bit down on her collar bone, causing her to moan louder than before. His hands were traveling all over her body, he wanted to feel every inch of her smooth skin on his finger tips.
Sonia threw her head back a bit, panting loudly. She pushed Daisuke down, placing her hand on his chest as she started bouncing on his cock. This action surprised him quite a bit. Her hair was flying in all directions, her face one of pure pleasure. She was a bit different than Hiyoko, who liked hugging him tightly when they were intimate. She put an arm behind her head, brushing her hair out of her eyes as she kept on riding his dick, grinding her hips on it.
"You feel so damn good. It's throbbing inside me!" she cried.
"You feel amazing too, keep riding that dick, it's yours for the night. Go fucking wild!" he said, panting loudly.
She clutched her breast roughly, increasing her speed a bit, her fingernails digging into Daisuke's chest. She didn't seem to care about the scratches she was leaving behind, and he didn't either. He met each thrust, his balls slapping against her porcelain ass. She threw her head back, screaming a bit as she hit her first orgasm. She placed her hands on his chest, watching herself squirt all over the sheets.
"That was amazing...is this what an orgasm feels like?" she asked softly.
"I'm not sure, I'm not a woman." he said, earning a cute scowl from her. He wrapped his arms around her body, flipping himself so he was on top of her. He spread her legs, and started pumping himself into her. Her screams of pleasure filled his ears, making him go a bit harder. She had the sheets in a white knuckle grip, almost tearing them from how hard she as clutching them. He felt his stomach tighten a bit, and slowed himself to a stop, catching his breath for a few seconds.
"I'm not ready for this to end yet." he said, taking a hold of Sonia's arm.
She seemed to be on auto pilot as she turned around and got on all fours, spreading her legs for her. He placed himself within, grabbing her arm as he started thrusting into her. She moaned loudly, pressing her face against a pillow to muffle it. He grabbed a hold of her hair, pulling it a bit, something that drove her insane.
"Fuck me harder, I'm a dirty little princess, teach me a lesson!" she cried out, her eyes looking into his own.
He let go of her arm, wrapping his hands around her waist as he thrusted harder, causing her to scream in pleasure. He familiar feeling struck him again, and he forced himself to stop, pulling out of the princess. He spun her around, capturing her lips into a sloppy kiss. He tugged on her lips, breathing roughly as he continued showing her his love for her.
"Yeah woo, hit her hard!"
The two screamed loudly, turning to face Sonia's empty bed. Hiyoko was leaning against the wall, a bag of chips in her hands. She had a soda in her hand, a bendy straw sticking out of it. Sonia hastily covered herself, a blush on her cheeks.
"What are you doing here?" Daisuke asked.
"Don't mind me, I'm just here to watch. You are lucky all of our friends are at the arcade for the night, and Mikan is asleep. Hey, do reverse cowgirl, I wanna see it live." She said, shoving a chip in her mouth. Daisuke sighed, glancing at Sonia.
"Are you okay with her being here?" he asked.
"She is our girlfriend, I don't really mind...plus you haven't cum yet so I can't really call this night over until you do." she said.
"Hah, good luck, the bastard held on for an hour when we had sex the first time, and I don't mean in the Headmaster's office either." Hiyoko said, taking a long sip of her drink. Daisuke shrugged, laying back down on the bed.
"I've never done this one, I guess it'll be a first for the both of us." He said.
Sonia nodded, climbing on top of her boyfriend, facing away from him. He slipped himself inside her, the same feeling as before filling Sonia's mind. She spread her legs a bit as he started thrusting into her.
The feeling was entirely different, she felt more stimulation this time, something that made her mind go blank once more. She felt her arms grow a bit weak, but Daisuke had easily held her up. She moaned loudly as he sped up, his balls slapping against her labia. He reached around and started massaging her clit, driving her insane. Hiyoko bit her lip as she watched the blonde princess riding her man's dick.
"No, this is her night, as much as it hurts, I'm not going to join in. Maybe tomorrow." she said. Cleaned her hand off with Sonia's bed sheets, her left hand traveling down to her own special area.
Both Daisuke and Sonia were at their limit, they were both panting hard and trying to hold on. The feeling in his stomach had gotten too strong. He wrapped his arms around the blonde princess, suckling her neck. She groaned, closing her eyes as she struggled to keep her legs spread.
"I'm about to cum." she whispered.
"Me too, I love you Sonia." he whispered, making her tear up a bit.
"I love you too." she replied.
The dam exploded, the blonde threw her head back as she orgasmed for the second time that night. She couldn't feel her limbs at all, her mind still being blanked from the overall experience. Daisuke came a second later, thick globs of cum shooting deep into her womb. He groaned a bit, his dick pulsing with every glob of cum that shot out. The two just lay on the bed, still joined together. Sonia turned her head, kissing the boy on the lips, tears in her eyes.
"That was amazing baby, thank you." she said softly.
"Thank you, for allowing me to be your first." he said, giving her a wink.
"Dais, sweetheart did you wear a condom?" Hiyoko cried out, standing up from the bed. She wiped her hand off on Sonia's bed sheet, glancing at the two naked teens.
"Um...that would be a no." he said, glancing at his already flaccid member. Sonia's vagina was dripping with her own juices and the sperm he had just injected into her. She swallowed hard, biting her lips.
"Uh oh...I'm not on the pill." she said.
"You guys are fucking retarded. The first thing they tell us in sex ed is to wrap it before sticking it in the oven. Are you ovulating?" the girl asked.
"Yes." the princess replied. She shook her head, digging her hand into her kimono sleeve. She pulled out her coin purse, zipping it open.
"I have enough for some Plan B, but for the love of god, wrap it up next time. Stay here while I come back, and open the window it smells like sex in here!" she said, heading toward the door. She pulled it open, and Mikan fell into the group, eyes wide as saucers.
"Oh my god, were you listening?" Sonia cried, using the sheets to cover herself up.
"I'm sorry!" the purplette cried.
"Get your ass up you perv, we're going to the pharmacy." she said, grabbing Daisuke's car keys. She slammed the door closed, making sure it was locked. Daisuke shook his head. He wrapped his arms around the blonde, lifting her into his arms.
"Let's take a shower babe, maybe we can go another round in there." he said, giving her a wink.
"I don't think I can stand, my legs are numb." she said.
"I'll sit on the edge of the tub." he said, earning a vigorous nod from her. The boy smiled, hoping the princess didn't become addicted to sex like their girlfriend had.

"Well guys, this is it. Two days from now, Class 78A will be facing off against us in a Spelling Bee. I've already selected four hundred words which will be picked at random. But I wanted you all to toss your own into the hat." Daisuke said, passing around Kazuichi's top had, which was filled with slips of paper. Fuyuhiko stood up, throwing twenty five slips into the hat.
"I got my own personal ones in there, I sifted through Urban Dictionary last night." he said, a smirk on his face.
"Christ, you didn't add Panamanian Petting Zoo in there did you?" the Story Teller asked, a disgusted look on his face. Fuyuhiko smirked, not exactly denying it. He shook his head.
"Anyone else?" Daisuke asked, shaking the hat. Takane and Ryouta stood up, placing more words into the hat. He mixed them up a bit, grabbing one at random.
"Cunnilingus?" he asked, causing most of the class to laugh out loud.
"Oh man, this is gonna be great!" Hiyoko said, a smile on her face.
"Hello everyone!"
"Chiaki!"
The Ultimate Gamer slowly made her way into the room, almost immediately being hugged by her friends. She had made a full recovery and was ready to rejoin her class. Daisuke smiled, ruffling her hair.
"There's our rep, how are you feeling?" he asked.
"Completely fine...I slept it off, the flu isn't going to keep me away. Good job with the events so far." she said.
"Thanks, but it wasn't the same without you. But now that you are back, we can be a class again!" Ibuki cried happily.
"Indeed, the fearsome dragon Chiaki has returned to us. With her returns our blessing." Tanaka said, his hamsters crying loudly.
"We're setting up the words for the spelling bee, so if you want to add any, feel free too." Daisuke said, giving her a smile. His phone started ringing, making him set the hat down. He walked toward the windows, checking the caller ID. His eyes widened a bit and he flicked it open, taking the call.
"Hello?"
"Yes, am I speaking with Mr. Del Rio?" a woman asked.
"This is him, is something the matter?"
"Well, we're calling about your submission to our publishing agency. The book titled, Distrust?"
"Ahem, yes of course...um..is something wrong with it?" he asked.
"Absolutely not! This book is wonderful, from the first word, I just couldn't put it down. It was forty two chapters of suspence, drama and mystery. The set up was fantastic and the ending was ambiguous, leading toward a potential sequel. We're calling you to let you know that the first edition books will be going on sale soon."
"What...are you for real right now? Doesn't that have to go through some process?" he asked.
"Normally yes, but we took your Ultimate Talent to consideration. On of our youngest novelists is also an Ultimate student, and spoke highly of your abilities. We were wondering if you would do a television appearance this Friday to advertise it." the woman said.
"F-Friday...oh...I can't I have an important event with my class." he said, glancing back at his classmates, who were all looking at him curiously.
"Oh, I understand...how about tomorrow then? It will be at the local television studio. In fact, we've spoken with Headmaster Kirigiri, it will be hosted in Hope's Peak Academy's gymnasium and will be broadcast all over the country! We've already got our translators editing and printing the international copies. We have a feeling it will be a best seller...we even have the cover art ready." she said.
"Oh..wow..that's..okay...it's just too much right now." he said, leaning against the wall.
"Hehe, we understand. We just wanted to give you the good news...we've been having some issues lately, but ever since that evil Ryusuke Fuji has been arrested, we got all of our stocks and funding back. We decided to publish your book first...as an apology for waiting so long."
"Thank you so much for your consideration! It means a lot that you would put my book over everyone elses. So, tomorrow afternoon at the gymnasium?" he asked.
"That's correct, we have already sent your requested first editions...they should be arriving soon. I suppose we'll meet in person tomorrow then."
"Yes, yes we will...thank you so much!"
"No problem...you have a nice day Mr. Del Rio."
"You too ma'am...goodbye." he said, ending the call.
Before anyone could say anything, there was a knock on the door, a tall man dressed in dark brown walked into the room, holding a big box in his hands.
"Mr. Del Rio? Package for you." he said. Daisuke closed the distance, signing his name hastily on the man's clipboard, taking the box from his hands. The man bowed formally before leaving. The boy set the box down on the large desk, reaching into his pocket for his switch blade.
"Alright, what's all this about, mysterious phone call? And a mysterious package too?" Kazuichi asked. The boy didn't answer, too busy slicing the tape off the box to care. He opened the flap, setting his eyes on the cover of his book for the first time.
The name of the book, Distrust, was written in neon letters on the center of the cover, being placed at an angle. There was a bullet underneath it, a sinister grin being on it. Behind the title was a bunch of neon paint splatters, blending into each other to create a sort of smokey mist. The bottom of it had his name, written in golden letters. He grabbed the book and turned it over, seeing the synopsis on the back, along with the seal of approval from the publishing company. Opening the back cover, he saw a black and white picture of himself that he submitted. He was giving the camera a grin, holding a peace sign to it, as he was clutching his precious messenger bag.
"Daisuke Del Rio is a young novelist currently going to Hope's Peak Academy. He wrote this story when he was inspired by his time at the academy. All of the characters are based off of his personal friends and family members. He is currently in his second year of school and is aiming to be known as the world's greatest story teller."
"Oh my god...this is real...this is fucking real." he said.
"What's real man? Stop fucking with us!" Fuyuhiko said. He pulled the book from inside the box, holding it up for them all to see. They all remained silent.
"Is that...your novel?" Sonia asked curiously. He gave her a nod.
"Yeah, and they're all personalized." he said, showing the spine of the book. The one he was holding was Peko's, her name having been written in cursive on the side.
"No way, I thought it would be awhile before they got published." Kazuichi said.
"Me too, they want me to advertise it tomorrow on national television...I'm honestly about to faint." he said. Sonia and Hiyoko hugged him tightly, followed by the rest of the class. Daisuke gasped in surprise, settling into the hug a second later. He was trying his hardest not to cry, but the tears came anyway. He was one step closer to achieving his dream, and not even his father was going to stop him.
